Snoring

lol I was just diagnosed. A few days ago they had me fitted for a CPAP to send their findings off to a company that will sell me one. I'm irate that I have this disorder.
I'm not even sure I want to throw money at one. I barely slept with the one they had on me at the sleep study. Wearing an oxygen mask to bed sucks. It limits movement & is uncomfortable. I'm not sure I want to do it.
I asked questions about the surgery options and all I got back was that those surgeries aren't always effective and a ton of bad opinions. I thought maybe getting a tonsillectomy and my nasal glands snipped out as a quick fix. But they said that doesn't always work.
I know my step father had a tonsillectomy and had a surgery done on his nose to help stop it. Nothing has worked. He's diagnosed with sleep apnea and he's not on a machine.
Should I take my chances and just not use anything and hope I don't suffer a heart attack or some other issue down the road caused by this disorder?
I don't snore but I have catathrenia which is annoying to my husband. It's where a person moans and groans in sleep and I've noticed that it happens when I'm extra tired and during a dream where there is talking going on.
No. I'd not take any chances. I have a full face mask and am able to turn on my side at night and on my back. Untreated sleep apnea can cause a bunch of health issues. I'll admit I didn't use mine much at all until recently. I got better and use it every night when sleeping at night. I don't wake with morning headaches, wake super tired, etc. Again, you do you. I just rather not die in my sleep or risk having a stroke or heart attack.

Okay. I guess I'll try to get one and go from there.
It's gonna likely take time to get adjusted and used to it, but know I fall asleep with no issues anymore.
That helps. I think I'll put some effort into getting one. I called the sleep lab today and they said I'd have to wait up to 2 weeks to get one. I just went and saw them on Wednesday night for testing.
But I hated doing the sleep test at the clinic. Mine was like a bedroom/hotel setup, but still awkward knowing someone is watching you sleep. I did fall asleep, but unsure how good. I think maybe a few days to a week later I got the phone call saying I had sleep apnea.
I waited 14 years to get looked at. Everyone was telling me that I was having issues breathing in my sleep. That I was snoring & rattling. Everyone that's witnessed it said that it could kill me and urged me to get help.

My husband snores but it's not that loud. It's like little baby snores.
